Boy sexually assaulted, filmed by policemen in 'torture cell' near Lahore

Second day in a row a case of Bacha Bazi crops up in the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

When Mohammadden belief based Shariah strictures in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan cloisters away women, it is inevitable that male homosexual rape and/or homosexual sexual assault with paedophile overtones crops up.

Meanwhile this at least the fourth case this year where a paedophilic homosexual rape case has taken place in Punjab Province of the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

February 25, 2018:

Lahore teenager accuses cleric of rape

February 20, 2018 :

Missing boy found strangled after rape

February 20, 2018:

Cleric held for rape of minor boy

January 12, 2018:

13-year-old boy intoxicated, sexually assaulted by two men in Sargodha

This deviant behaviour of paedophile homosexual rape is clearly not restricted to Pathan / Pushtun / Pashtun areas under occupation of the Punjabis of the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan as the Islamic Republics Punjab Province based residents would have us Kaafir Dhimmis believe.

Further this deviant behaviour constitutes no stray event in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Similar incidents of paedophile homosexual rape have been frequently reported. Indeed I suspect that the incidents of this nature, by standards of prevalence of deviant behaviour, are quite widespread in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan making it the Paedophile Homosexual Rape and Paedophile Homosexual Sexual Assault Capital of the Indian Sub-Continent. The above linked News articles plus the ones to follow, all from 2018 which is not even three months old, reporting incidents of paedophile homosexual rape/sexual assault in the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan demonstrates the point.

March 18, 2018:

Seminary teacher arrested for 'rape' of nine-year-old boy in Karachi

February 6, 2018:

Why Is The Paki Govt "Shit Scared " To Complain About The Saudis Treatment Of Its Own Citizens Asks This Paki Ayesha

Good friends...
Sarah Belal, Executive Director Of Justice Project Pakistan ( Big name, Zero game

)

PAKISTAN curates its foreign service with great care. Only the brightest are invited to undergo the vigorous training to shape them to represent the country and its interests all around the world. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Pakistan has 114 missions across the globe.

We also take our presence in the UN seriously — forcefully lobbying to gain a seat at the UN Human Rights Council in 2017. We appeared for three UN reviews last year, each time better prepared than we had been at the one before.

Pakistan must take pride in its diplomatic prowess. It is a hard-earned seat at the table, cultivated over decades and since 9/11 in a less-than-welcoming environment. We’ve had our enemies. To counter them, we have built some friendships over the years.

According to our foreign policy, Saudi Arabia is one such friend. There’s even a treaty of friendship to mark it. Wrong !. Diplomacy 101 : There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Just recently, Saudia arrested some Indians and packed them to India in spite of objections from the Paki Govt

And make no mistake, Pakistan has been a good friend. We helped free the Grand Mosque in Makkah in 1979. We stationed military forces in the kingdom during the Iran-Iraq war.
We trained their forces, and in return, Saudi Arabia granted us direct financial aid. We received oil at a reduced price, and sometimes, even for free.
We were able to withstand US sanctions following our nuclear tests because Riyadh came to our rescue. And the list could go on and on !

But with countries, where there is friendship, there is also self-interest. The cornerstone of diplomacy is the quid pro quo. And as parliamentarian Shireen Mazari pointed out, when it comes to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan can be slow to collect theirs . While Pakistan categorises Saudi Arabia as its top ally, the latter has little regard for the rights and lives of the citizens of the former. In the Saudi totem pole of Malsi hierarchy, the Pakis rank at the bottom . They are not considered "true Muslims" !

Justice Project Pakistan and Human Rights Watch released Caught in a Web, research documenting the treatment of Pakistani prisoners in the Saudi criminal justice system. Trials marked by rampant due process violations have led to the executions of at least 66 Pakistanis; 2,795 Pakistanis languish in jails, subject to abuse and poor jail conditions. But then Pakis have to do their share also, and "behave in an Islamic way" - in the "Land Of The Two Holy Mosques ", no Sharab, no Bacha Baazi no Gol-Maal

The highest number of foreign nationals executed in the kingdom have been Pakistanis, who are treated worse than any other nationality. How your citizens are treated is a much better mark of your diplomatic relations than the grand receptions officials receive. But then the Paki Establishment has always grovelled before Massa, China and Saudia as they do not have any self respect !

Diplomatic prowess is best measured in situations involving difficult conversations. This is one that our leadership is long overdue to have with its Saudi counterpart. In Saudia it is always a one man show . And it also depends on how the Monarch's mood is on that particular day

In October 2015, India’s foreign minister Sushma Swaraj condemned the attack on an Indian domestic worker by her Saudi employer who chopped her arm off. The Indian embassy immediately took note of the incident, and extended her consular and legal help to pursue charges against her employer. Swaraj tweeted that an Indian citizen being subject to this brutality was ‘unacceptable’ and diplomats from the embassy took it up with the highest authorities. Pakistani officials seldom, if ever, visit their citizens in Saudi jails.

They are "afraid of annoying" one of their mai-baaps ! And India is "not afraid' of annoying the Saudis if the cause is just! [/quote]

In 2014, Sri Lanka had Saudi Arabia sign a labour deal that sought to protect the rights of 500,000 of its citizens working in the kingdom after a 24-year-old maid was beheaded. The Sri Lankan embassy also has a 24-hour hotline where distressed workers can call for help. Many detained Pakistanis and their families are not even sure which government agency to reach out to in the same situation.

No wonder many Pakis, when they returned back, "bad mouth" the Land Of The Two Holy Mosque

.

The Filipino government regularly intervenes on behalf of their overseas workers. A 2011 government inquiry on behalf of the Committee on Overseas Workers’ Affairs found that there is “no doubt” that their diplomatic staff actively monitor developments in death-row cases involving their citizens. “Saudi lawyers are engaged, Saudi authorities are lobbied, efforts are made to negotiate monetary settlements with the kin of the victims, whether these relatives are located in Saudi Arabia or in the Philippines.”Filipino workers are prized all over the world for their work ethic and honesty. Can the same be said of the Pakis

A consular protection policy is the need of the hour. Pakistan must negotiate a prisoner transfer agreement with Saudi Arabia, and tap into its community welfare funds to come to the aid of prisoners on death row by securing them lawyers, and help bring exculpatory evidence to Saudi courts.Helping prisoners in Saudi Arabia isn’t impossible. And for a country that since 1967 has reportedly trained over 8,200 Saudi armed forces personnel, it should not be a tall ask that its citizens be accorded their right to fair trial, consular access, and legal representation.

After all, what good is a friendship that cannot withstand a confrontation? When everything is said and done, the Pakis " know" that the Saudis are using them . And the Saudi Royals also know that they can depend on the First Islami Atomi Takaat to keep them in power "forever" by throwing a few crumbs now and then !

Diesel In The "Driver's Seat" In The Newly Revived Islamic Alliance

Newly revived Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal elects Fazlur Rehman as president

PESHAWAR – The Ameer of Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F, Maulana Fazlur Rehman was appointed as the chief of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal on Tuesday, months before the country would hold General Elections. Maulana Fazl (Aka Diesel) according to Paki Media, is one of the "most opportunistic politico born in Pakiland ) . But in this case, he has agreed to combine himself with his arch rival the JI , because the Mullah Brigade suspects that when combined they can have more blackmailing cards and , they can easily raise the slogan of "Islam in danger" if they are not allowed to "sit" at the power table

Former lawmaker and senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Liaqat Baloch announced the decision to revive MMA and appointment of Maulana Fazlur Rehman as the president following which Fazl congratulated the entire nation on the revival of the alliance, for which the religious factions had toiled hard.

Speaking on the occasion, JI Chief Siraj-ul-Haq said that the MMA had begun its journey with a new resolve and it would represent the citizens on all platforms in the country. Their share in the power can only happen at the exclusive pleasure of Deep State and they know it !

The decision to revive MMA was made in November last year. But it was kept "secret" until now

Cargo Ship Crashes Into Cargo Ship Sending Cars Falling Into The Water.
Video from the Karachi port in Pakistan shows one cargo ship crash into another docked cargo ship earlier today, dropping 21 shipping containers into the ocean as the workers suck their teeth at the mess being made.

The casual nature of the workers standing around capturing video of the crash and its aftermath is hilarious, but the ending clip of the air rapidly screaming its way out of a container as it sinks to the bottom of the port is also sort of oddly sad and morbid.

Newsweek: Massive Container Ships Collide Losing Cargo Overboard.

According to The Frontier Post, port authorities said, “Approximately 55-60 containers from the ships fell into the sea.” Two berths were also damaged in the accident.

the accident happened at the port’s commercial terminal, which is operated by private party.

The lost containers are reportedly floating towards channels made for breaking heavy waves, the Post said, and could damage them if they are not quickly retrieved.

A similar collision took place in January and was blamed on negligence of a KPT harbor pilot.

Rupee loses almost 5%, KSE-100 gains almost 1.8% in intra-day trading

KARACHI: Spurred by an almost 5% fall in the rupee’s value against the dollar, the KSE-100 Index – benchmark for market performance – climbed 776 points in intra-day trading as investors rushed to buy stocks that benefit from a weaker currency.

Quite fittingly, the textile and oil sectors gained due to a direct advantage, while shares of banks got a boost due to expectations of an early interest rate hike that would come on the back of higher inflation readings.

By 12:15pm, the KSE-100 Index was hovering around the 44,160 level for an intra-day increase of 620 points or 1.42% with index-heavy banks, oil and textile stocks leading the rally. Volume on the all-share index were up to 125 million shares already, less than halfway through the session. The increased activity was in sharp contrast to a dull session on Monday when volume for the entire session amounted to 116 million shares.

Market talk suggested the dollar went up to Rs116, but the number would only be final at close of trading on Tuesday. The rupee depreciation comes on the back of immense pressure on Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves that have plunged to around $12 billion as a widening current account deficit takes its toll on the economy.

International creditors as well as independent economists have long said that the Pakistani rupee is overvalued against the dollar and needs to fall to around Rs115.

On Tuesday, however, it seemed like economic fundamentals were incharge.

“The dollar went as high as Rs116 (in the inter-bank market),” Saad Khan, head of research at IGI Securities, told The Express Tribune. “We will have to see where it ends today.

“However, the market seems to have gotten the push due to this. Textile, banks and oil sector benefit the most from this.”

Given that a fall in the rupee’s value would stoke inflation, analysts and experts now expect an early interest rate hike by the central bank.

“There is going to be a minimum 25 basis points increase in the interest rate in the upcoming monetary policy.”

To recall, the State Bank of Pakistan, in a widely unexpected move, increase the key interest rate by 25 basis points in its last monetary policy announced at the end of January.

With the next announcement expected to be made soon, analysts are factoring in at least another 25-basis-point increase, which would take the key interest rate to 6.25%.

“Inflation readings are expected to be higher and would slowly creep up to over 5% by the end of the fiscal year. There could now be a more permanent impact in the pace of inflation.”

A weaker rupee makes exports cheaper, benefitting the country’s export-oriented textile sector. However, it also makes imports expensive, denting margins of import-centric industries like autos. The trend was visible in Tuesday’s share prices of these companies.

Congratulations is well and fine. But when is Putin coming to Pakiland inspite of so many past invitations by so many PMs and Presidents of Pakiland.

Pakistan is wooing Russia to become one of their new mai-baaps. But IMO, Putin is too smart to take the bait . After all, he is an Ex KGB afsar and he probably knows in detail the nefarious role that Pakiland in collusion with Massa - played in the break up of the erstwhile Soviet Union . Bottom line: Pakiland cannot be a reliable partner. It has a proven track record of "sleeping" with everyone, if the price is right.

Un auspicious Start To The Much Touted PSL Match In La-Whore

Axe falls on women as motorbike rally at PSL semi-final in Lahore cancelled

LAHORE – Punjab government on Tuesday shelved a plan to organise a women’s motorbike rally at the opening ceremony of PSL 2018 semi-final in Lahore for unknown reasons.

An official of Chief Minister’s Strategic Reforms Unit (SRU) confirmed that rally, which was set to be carried out by the Women on Wheels (WOW) today at Gaddafi Stadium before PSL match, has been cancelled, but declined to tell the reason.

Women-on-Wheels trainees had been invited to the PSL semi-final in efforts to promote women empowerment.It appears that the first women bikers rally has been cancelled due to security as foreign players are also taking part in the game. Objections by Mullah Brigade? Paki Ayeshas out in the open and ogled by Non- Islami mards ?

Celebrities such as Jugnu Mohsin, Sohai Ali Abro, Mira Sethi and Juggun Kazim was to attend the bike rally.

“Over 3,500 women in Lahore, Multan, Sargodha and Faisalabad have been given free motorcycle training,” Sufi added.The date to apply to acquire a motorcycle on subsidised rates has been extended till April 25.

It has been officially confirmed.

For Pakistan’s spiritual healers, Hindu djinns are evil and Muslim spirits are good

Bengali Babas in Pakistan are known for their prowess against the spells of black magic, while others sometimes accuse them of practicing this demonic art.

Because the tradition of black magic comes from Bengal

Both these traditions emphasise how djinns are accessed by devoted practitioners of asceticism after they overcome the onslaught of demons and djinns who seek to prevent them from acquiring this occult art.

I

s the Muslim Bengali Baba tradition in Pakistan, found in many parts of the country, connected to this Tantric tradition?

For Baba Patras Bengali, the distinction was quite simple – Muslim djinns were the good ones, who protected people, while Hindu djinns were evil.

there were several Hindu djinns in Lahore, particularly close to the banks of the Ravi river, where before Partition, Hindus used to cremate their dead

To counter these evil Hindu spirits, the spiritual healer has to purify himself through several religious rituals.

According to Dr Bokhari, there are some famous Hindu djinns in Lahore who have been haunting people for several centuries – Laxmi Devi, Parvati and Shero.

Therefore, it seems to me that the concept of black magic in Pakistan is imbued in the contextual political framework of the country, shaped by Partition and the separation from India.

The "Real" Bajwa Doctrine Explained Here !

Bajwa Doctrine: Removal of Nawaz Sharif, reliance on China shows Pakistan Army still on the same path

In the last few months, there has been an outpouring in Pakistan media on the so-called “Bajwa Doctrine” of the army, based presumably on the thinking of its chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. The whole debate seems to have been set off by a paper by a Pakistani analyst working at the UK-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) on the same subject, as well as the attempts by many to attribute a certain personality and style to Bajwa. "The Thinking Qadiani Bajwa " as opposed to the "Danda Wielding Ex COAS "Bad Sharif"

At a time when Pakistanis badly need to believe that their leaders have done something right, the thought of a ‘Bajwa Doctrine’ that bases itself on Pakistani pride and ability to face down US pressure is a shot in the arm at a time when talk of designating Pakistan as a terrorist state is under discussion. There is no doubt that the redoubtable army chief is facing crisis after crisis with apparent aplomb.

The problem is that most of those crises have been created by his own institution at various points of time. Ganja got rid of Raheel by putting in a few good words on his behalf to the Saudi Royals . Now Bajwa is on his case !!!

...the Bajwa Doctrine according to some analysts are the following:

The first argument is that unlike former president Pervez Musharraf, Bajwa has proved more capable of resisting US pressure. In his own memoir, Musharraf recalled that the US threatened to bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age if it didn’t cooperate with the Americans in providing land and air space for its operations into Afghanistan. Following that threat, Pakistan rolled back the Taliban. It even closed down a few camps along the Line of Control. However, this is an unfair comparison, since Musharraf was facing tumultuous times immediately after 9/11 when it seemed anything could happen. Moreover, it doesn’t appear that anyone has made a similar threat to the current army chief. He is made of "sterner Qadiani material"

Perhaps this is a pointer that such a threat should be made, since that seems to be the only method of getting Pakistan to roll back its disastrous policies. Massa has made some noises, but Bajwa has asked the civilians to "look after that"

What the Bajwa Doctrine — such as it is said to be — actually does, is to place an unhealthy reliance on China to prevent such a threat from being actually carried out. Recent events, such as China backing off from protecting Pakistan at the meeting of the Financial Action Task Force is a pointer for some course correction in the general’s doctrine. Like all nations, China works towards its own benefits. Bajwa needs a lesson in Diplomacy 101: No permanent friends only permanent interests

Certainly it would oppose a bombing of Pakistan, partly as an old ally, but primarily because it has now sunk several billions of dollars in investment. In such a scenario, where a bombing of Pakistan was imminent, China is far more likely to twist Pakistani arms to reduce its reliance on terrorism as a tool of national security. This is something that the Bajwa Doctrine should carefully assess if it has to base itself on realistic expectations of its ‘all-weather’ friend. Bajwa should not be blamed for Pakistan putting all its eggs into the CPEC basket !

A second aspect of the Bajwa Doctrine appears to lie in the general’s facing down demands that Pakistan do more in stopping terror. It is true that Pakistani security forces have lost valuable lives in fighting an effective counter terrorism battle in Karachi: An operation that it is undertaking for the third time in the past several years. It is also true that the army has undertaken an unrelenting operation in the tribal areas against the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan ( TTP), which involved bombing and strafing its own citizens. These policies he "inherited" from his predecessor, so to lay blame on him exclusively for the policies of carpet bombing, displacing civilians from FATA, hiding the Haqqanis is not fair !

True, also that the TTP has been the primary source of terrorism in the country. At an international security conference in Munich recently, the army chief rather realistically blamed previous Pakistani and US governments for backing the rise of radicalism in pursuit of goals in Afghanistan. This argument, and the reality that the US suddenly abandoned the Afghan theater and turned to Iraq, would have been better received if the Pakistani Army chief had not also claimed that there were no more ‘organised’ terrorist camps on its territory. Massa has his own technical and human intelligence. And he did not believe this Bajwa BS

A second course correction on the general’s doctrine is therefore quite simply this: Don’t mix facts and sheer untruths. It reduces the impact of the good arguments that you undoubtedly have.

A third strand of the doctrine arises to some extent from the above. The basis of the analysis that backs the Bajwa Doctrine as ideal for Pakistan, is that US policy remains unchanged over the years, whether under the Bush administration or under President Donald Trump. There is some truth in this. During his address, the army chief indicated that of 131 terrorist attacks against his country, at least 123 had been propagated from Afghanistan by such groups like the TTP and the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. But Bajwa should have known or ought to have known that these "snakes" were nurtured and cultivated as an Anti- India but an extremely Pro-Islamic strategic and potent weapon . And now they have come back to bite its master, as these outfits now say that "Pakistan is not Islamic enough" and should become "more greener", which the Deep State disagrees !

Pakistan has long been asking — or demanding — the US rid such elements from Afghanistan in return for action against the Taliban. US forces did just that several years ago. Starting around 2009, they began to pick out the TTP leaders waging war against Pakistan. The death of Baitullah Mehsud was a particular blow for the group. Attacks by the TTP against the Pakistan security forces thereafter declined, and as the pressure eased, so did cooperation from the Pakistanis on reining in the Taliban. Pakistan word and promises are zero !

What else the Bajwa Doctrine is supposed to embody can be paraphrased in a tweet which calls it a “Superman and a Batman” at the same time. In all fairness, the Pakistan Army has not exactly received support from politicians who kept their own interests foremost rather than that of the country. Faced with chicanery and greed, one army chief after another sent prime ministers into oblivion, preventing the growth of not only institutions, but also eroding the functional capability of the governments to undertake even minimal governance: Which in turn leads to yet another army intervention. Paki Army is corrupt. The civilian regimen is corrupt . The Aam Abduls are fed the "opium of Malsi"

It is here that a “Bajwa Doctrine” can certainly be discerned. The cyclical army takeovers have been replaced by a highly successful exercise of pulling the strings from behind the scenes.The "pumping" up of the judiciary to do "its dirty work" !

This has been most recently apparent in the calibrated exercise which cut down Nawaz Sharif, then removed him as party head, and thereafter played with the electoral process to ensure that the senate elections don’t go into his party’s hands: Primarily by unseating the Balochistan government. As an exercise in “governance”, this is yet to be beaten in terms of its sheer breadth and scope. Ganja is screaming loud on the Death of Democracy, by traveling the length and breadth of this accursed land but no one is listening to him !

With regard to India, the only ‘doctrine’ visible seems to be to push in as many terrorists as possible, and vitiating diplomatic ties to the extent of even refusing an outreach by India in inviting the Pakistan commerce minister to attend the meeting of the World Trade Organisation. In December 2017, Bajwa promised the Pakistan Parliament the army would back any peace overtures to India. Raheel was out and out anti India . Bajwa is more low key !

For the Bajwa Doctrine to gain heft and leave a lasting historical memory, it would be wise indeed if the army chief persuaded Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to step up to the stage and extend a hand. That would actually flesh out the ‘doctrine’ into a real strategy, instead of simply being a set of beliefs that others have assigned to an imperturbable army chief. Abbasi, the caretaker PM days are numbered . He is doing just "time pass"

Altaf Bhai Gets Into Good Shape, Reorganizes His MQM Outfit In Londonistan And Is Ready For The Coming Battle With The Deep State Of Pakiland

MQM-London registers itself in UK for political activities
Murtaza Ali Shah

LONDON: After disintegration into many groups in Pakistan and exclusion of London-based leadership by two Pakistani factions of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), founder of the MQM has registered his own faction of the party in Britain for the first time after moving to Britain over two decades ago

Companies House has confirmed that an official of the MQM-London registered the “MQM International Limited” on 22 January 2018 under the Company House number 11161064. And the Brits to the chagrin of the Pakis allowed him to do that

A source at the MQM secretariat said that the need for registration has been felt after Karachi-based set up severed links with London, following Altaf Hussain’s controversial 22nd August speech which unleashed a chain of fatal events. It is very hard to stop Altaf Bhai, although he is skating on thin British ice. Of course, he must have sought top legal advice before doing all this. He has made it a life time mission to improve matters in Pakiland for his Mohajir co-brothers, who are so blatantly being discriminated against

The “MQM International Limited” has been registered at the 221 Whitchurch Lane, Edgware, United Kingdom, HA8 6QN address. Mohammad Saleem, an official at MQM’s office in London, is the sole director of the registered “MQM International Limited”.

The Companies House register shows that the “nature of business” has been shown as “activities of political organisations”. This is the property owned by the MQM founder where MQM founder’s cousin Iftikhar Hussain and other MQM leaders have been living for several years. The same property was raided in relation to the murder investigation of Dr Imran Farooq. But the charges did not stick against Altaf !

This is the same address that was raided during the money-laundering investigation by the Scotland Yard which saw the MQM leader, Sarfraz Merchant, Muhammad Anwar, Tarir Mir and others arrested and put on bail for nearly three years. The case was dropped by the police last year. Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has since written to Scotland Yard, quoting an FIR in Karachi by Sarfraz Merchant, that there is a strong case of money-laundering against the MQM leadership both in Britain and Pakistan, naming several leaders from the MQM factions and Mustafa Kamal’s PSP. The Scotland Yard says it dropped the money-laundering case because there was not “sufficient evidence” to prosecute but Pakistani authorities insist that evidence was strong but not pursued by the police in London. The Paki Deep State should enlist the services of Imran Khan once again and pay for his trip to Scotland Yard, so that he can convince Scotland Yard to convict Altaf and his associates. Immy could of course, make use of the "influence" of his Ex In laws - The Goldsmiths - to succeed in this venture. At the same time, this may be a good opportunity for his Peerni to see her sons in Londonistan and also meet Jemima

The registration of the MQM in Britain comes after the MQM maintained throughout the money-laundering investigation that it was a political party registered in Pakistan and didn’t have any political activity related to Britain and therefore wasn’t registered in Britain with the UK election commission. By allowing Altaf Bhai to carry on his shenanigans in Bartania, the Brits have some sort of a "useful leverage" - which they will use - with the clueless Pakis

The MQM maintained this to justify that it received donations from Pakistan through individuals to maintain its base in London but that these donations were aimed at Pakistani politics and nothing to do with British politics. With top legal advice, Altaf seems to have covered all his bases !!

Recent months have seen the MQM founder re-launching himself, adjusting to new political realities and facts. A source in the MQM informed that the MQM founder has committed himself to a strict dieting regime and has lost more than 30 Kilograms of weights. Confidentiality breached by this reporter !!! Altaf Bhai "image makeover" was not to have been mentioned here

A year back, there were concerns that he could be paralysed because of unhealthy lifestyle and weight issues. It’s understood that the MQM founder has hired a physiotherapist for 5 days-a-week exercise at his home, including following the dieting plan. Ditto ! On a serious note, Altaf Bhai was in "top form", a few days ago, when in a video conference beamed to the United Nations Human Rights Council Meet in Geneva , he blasted the Paki Govt for practicing discrimination against all Non- Pakjabi ethnicities . And vowed that he will not remain silent !

He has increased the number of security men guarding him round the clock at his home and outside. Most leading MQM activists and office bearers have left the MQM founder and either gone quiet or joined the MQM-factions but some veterans are standing by him and continuing to push – hoping that the infighting in Pakistani factions of MQM have made the ordinary workers reminisce those days when MQM was controlled through an iron hand from London but respected and not publicly humiliated in the manner the MQM factions are doing these days. Turnout to mark MQM’s 34th foundation day in London was good and many new faces were seen attending the event. Altaf is trying hard to cultivate his "pyaraa yooth"

The source said that the MQM founder doesn’t unleash anymore the kind of vitriol he used to until few months ago. The source said that he realises that his anger and depression have caused him irreparable political damage. “The founder has been getting counselling on how to control his temperament, how to live a healthy lifestyle and how not to be depressed and he has been listening and following the guidelines,” said the source. Altaf Bhai getting in good physical and emotional state for the coming battle ahead !

The MQM has not until now registered itself with the Electoral Commission. A spokesman told The News that “a party does not have to register with the Electoral Commission in order to call itself a political party, but it does have to register with the Commission in order to field candidates at elections and appear on a ballot paper”. Altaf's supporters will find some kind of solution to keep the MQM flag alive in Pakiland

Amnesty International Again Takes Pakistan To Task About Human Rights !

Rights group calls on Pakistan to end enforced disappearances
Gulf News/AFP
March 20, 2018

slamabad: Human rights watchdog Amnesty International has called on Pakistan to resolve hundreds of cases of enforced disappearances for which "no one has ever been held accountable".

"Disappearances are a tool of terror... if committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack, they constitute a crime against humanity," a statement issued by the rights watchdog on Monday said, calling on Pakistan to "take concrete steps to end impunity".Pakistan has had a history of enforced disappearances over the past decade, mainly confined in the past to conflict zones near the Afghanistan border or to southwestern Balochistan province, where separatists are battling for independence. ( So, Amnesty is calling a spade a spade! Pakistan should lodge a protest pronto )

However in recent years a growing number of such abductions have taken place brazenly in major urban centres such as Karachi, Lahore and even the capital, Islamabad.

Earlier this year award-winning Pakistani journalist Taha Siddiqui, who criticised the role of the military in Pakistan, managed to escape an attempted abduction in broad daylight on a busy Islamabad highway.He has since left the country. He has sought assylum in France !

Reporting critical of security policies controlled by the powerful military is considered a major red flag, with Siddiqui the most high-profile recent example among the many reporters who have been at times detained, beaten and even killed. Security agencies routinely deny being involved. The concept of plausible deniability

Last year, five social media activists who had been critical of the military as well as extremism were also disappeared, with their abductions sparking nationwide protests. Four were released within weeks, but the fate of the fifth remains unknown.
Many other people are believed to still be in custody. According to Amnesty, the United Nations has more than 700 such cases pending in Pakistan, while a state commission of inquiry into enforced disappearances lists hundreds of additional cases. Depends on what is the definition of "disappeared persons"

Victims include bloggers, journalists, students, peace activists and other human rights defenders. Few punishments, Amnesty said, are "as cruel and deliberate.... Families are plunged into a state of anguish, trying to keep the flame of hope alive while fearing the worst. They may be in this limbo for years". With the Chinese Internet and Surveillance System on its way via CPEC, more such cases are likely to occur !

According to the non-government organisations (NGO), Pakistan has recently accepted UN recommendations that make enforced disappearances a crime but has refused to ratify an international convention protecting anyone from enforced disappearances. Like the "promise" to grant MFN status to India, and the "assurance" that 26/7 attackers will be punished , and the assurance to Massa that the Haqqani Network has been dismantled and the just recent assurance to FATF to get itself out of the coming "black list" , such Paki assurances are not worth the paper they are written on

Pashtun Doctor Beaten Up By ISI In Bajaur Tribal Region Of FATA

Pakistan ISI: Doctors protest against spy agency over beating
BBC News

Medics went on strike and the military was criticised after Dr Abdul Hameed was held for several hours on Saturday.Protesters accused the army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency of "state hooliganism".Campaigners say tens of thousands of tribal residents have been killed or disappeared during years of conflict. A "genocide like" situation is happening in the FATA Tribal Region of Pakistan, where TV Media and Print Journos are not allowed to report and are denied entry. This action is carried on against the ethnic Pashtuns under the pretense of "fighting terrorism". The outside world is not aware, until incidents like this happen !

Doctors in Bajaur called off their strike on Monday after the military made concessions. Protesters had threatened to extend it to other parts of the country.The concessions include exempting doctors from being stopped at military checkpoints in tribal areas. The army authorities also promised to curb the number of soldiers allowed to seek medical treatment at civilian hospitals, a constant source of complaint from locals. Pressure on the military had been building since Saturday's incident. This is all suppressed in the Paki domestic press !

Dr Hameed, who works at the Agency Headquarters Hospital in Bajaur's main town Khar, was roughed up while he was attending a female patient in his room."Two men in civvies walked into the room and wanted him to see a patient they had brought," his brother, Hamid Khan, who is also a doctor, told the BBC."The staff helping the doctor asked them to wait outside, but instead they stepped up to the doctor and one of them shook hands with him. The doctor got a bit impatient and refused to shake the second man's hand, asking them to step outside and wait till he was finished with his patient."The two men then pounced on his brother, Dr Khan said. They called in some other colleagues and roughed up the doctor and other staff."Then they dragged my brother by the hair, shoved him into a truck and drove away."Dr Hameed was released only after the doctors and other hospital staff shut down all services and medical stores in the main markets of Khar also pulled down their shutters. Most likely the ISI men were Pakjabis . And the doctor most likely a local Pashtun.

The incident was widely discussed on social media, with activists criticising the military and the ISI of treating the Federally-Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) as their fiefdom. In a video shared on Facebook, a tearful Dr Khan told protesters that people would "not allow the ISI to kill their children"."Are you a protector of the people, or are you a murderer?" he said, addressing the ISI. "Why do you want to turn the children of this nation into your enemies?"

Fata is a semi-autonomous strip of land along Pakistan's north-western border. It was used as a base for anti-Soviet Islamist militants during the Afghan war of the 1980s and became a Taliban and al-Qaeda sanctuary post-9/11.Thousands of Fata people are believed to have been killed during this period.A military operation to clear out anti-Pakistan militants in 2014 displaced nearly a million people.Residents have faced layers of security checks on all entry-exit routes to the area. Non-locals, including the mainstream media, are barred from travelling to Fata. Whether this naming and shaming tactic will work against Pakistan is anybody's guess . !

A movement which started after one such death - the alleged extrajudicial killing of a tribal youth in Karachi - was the first to criticise the military's actions in tribal areas.The Pashtun Protection Movement appears to have opened the floodgates for public criticism of the military, something which had been unthinkable until a few months ago.Its leaders claim that more than 30,000 locals have been forcibly disappeared by the military's intelligence network. Many more have had their houses demolished by the military, campaigners say. Like the Balochis, the Pashtuns of FATA are beginning to get alienated and they do not see a future for themselves in the entity called Pakistan

We know that the Pakistani defence budget numbers are always fudged. They hide much more than they reveal as most of the military spending is never directly accounted for under defence budget. The usual trick is off-budget financing. Also, Pakistan is spending a lot more on nuclear weapons which expenditure simply doesn't figure anywhere.It never accounted for pensions in the defence budget, a fact that was admitted to openly in the Pakistan National Assembly a few years back. Then, there is the question of 'contingent liabilities'. Every country keeps a significant reserve for unforeseen circumstances. In the case of Pakistan, such 'contingent liability' is (mis)appropriated by the military leaving the government with no funds when, for example, a natural disaster strikes. Therefore, I normally multiply the revealed figure by a factor of 2, conservatively.

Two things we have to see. One, how much of the total budget is allocated for Defence. It has consistently hovered around the 19% mark. This time too, 920B out of 4.75 Trillion worthless PKR, it amounts to 19%. Multiply that by a factor of 2 to get the real expenditure. So, more than a third of the annual budget goes to defence. The second is what % is the defence budget of the GDP. But, even by usual standards, that reported figure of USD 9B is way too low. Or their reported GDP of USD 300B is way too large. For example, during fiscal 1990, while Pakistan’s GDP was USD 40 Billion, it spent close to USD 3 Billion on defence (as revealed), which is almost 8% of its GDP. In the period between circa 1970-2000, Pakistan’s defence expenditure varied between 4% and 9% with an average of 6% of GDP. But current budget & GDP takes it to 3% which is simply unlikely for Pakistan at a time when the US largesse has almost dwindled to zero and the Chinese do not give much for free anyway. So, let us draw our own easy conclusions.

The problem for the Pakistanis is that almost a third of their defence budget was taken care of by the US in the period between 2002-2015. That is under considerable strain now. This also reveals, incidentally, who our real enemies are.
